I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Changsui glanced at the distance between the mule cart in front of him and whispered, "Qingchengwei is almost near Ningcheng. It is west and south of Daningwei, northeast of Linghe County, and the straight-line distance is more than 800 miles."

"The nomadic tribes always go south to plunder. If we chase them and attack them, as long as they don't build cities, they will always be able to escape.

How does that sentence go? Come and go freely like the wind. "Shen Xiaoye said, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

She asked: "It seems that this location is behind the Daning Guards, how come they killed 800 enemies?

Could it be that they are deliberately making a big fuss about it, but in fact..."

Shen Changsui nodded slightly, confirming her guess: "Either the Daning Guard was lost, or the Tartars took a detour and attacked the Qingcheng Guard directly.

I hope it is the latter, otherwise we may have to launch an expedition this year. Let's go back tomorrow and buy more food."

Shen Xiaoye: "It was really unsafe in ancient times."

"It doesn't matter. I can help you save your lives if you find me." The little black cat stared at Wuzhong Mountain with bright eyes.

Shen Xiaoye laughed: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, but can you walk faster? I feel it calling me." The little black cat was extremely sure that he had found the right direction this time.

But no matter how urgent it was, it was of no use. As night fell, the mountain path became difficult to travel on. It was difficult for mules, horses and donkeys to go up during the day, let alone at night. Shen Xiaoye and his group had to stay overnight in the village at the foot of the mountain.

Taoist Priest Hengxi, who was carrying most of the things on his back, said, "I will go down the mountain to pick you up tomorrow morning. Have a good rest. The owner of this house is knowledgeable and never disturbs the guests."

"Master, you don't have to be polite. We will go up by ourselves tomorrow morning." Shen Changsui also wanted to take the opportunity to let Xiao Xuanmao determine the specific location.

Shen Xiaoye and his uncle had no objections. The Taoist priest had already told them the route to the mountain, so they would not get lost as long as they had the way.

After the two sides said goodbye to each other, they should have eaten, packed up and gone to sleep after a long day of traveling.

But the little black cat didn't want to. It brought Shen Xiaoye, who was lying on the bed, into the space and said, "Take me there, take me there. It's not far from here."

"Look out the window. With the crescent moon just visible, walking on the mountain road at night can cause accidents." Shen Xiaoye reclined and lay down on the seat. She could only stretch her arms. It was not a pleasant experience to ride a donkey cart for nearly a hundred miles. No matter how good the official road was, it was not as smooth as the asphalt road.

She had masturbated for several hours yesterday afternoon, which caused her arms to ache. Today she had been jolted all day long too. How could she feel sore?

The state of mind and spirit at this moment not only makes one feel tired, but also has a sense of emptiness and unreality, which makes one feel a little irritated for no reason.

"We'll get up at four tomorrow morning. We'll go in whichever direction you say." She bowed and said:

"Let me go back and rest first, and I promise not to break my promise."

The little black cat stared at her for a long while before flicking its claws to send her away.

Shen Xiaoye opened one eye on the bed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was better to be in the body!

Well, she could empathize with the little black cat's anxiety.

So she got up very punctually at 3:00 a.m. the next day before dawn. The rustling noise naturally alerted her two uncles in the next room.

Her explanation was: "I didn't sleep well in the new place, so I got up to practice boxing."

"Forget it, let's all get up." Shen Changshou also got up instantly. When he opened the door, he saw the old couple in the house also got up to cook. He said embarrassedly, "Sorry to disturb your rest. I'll boil some water."

"No, people get less sleep when they get old." There are only an old couple at home. They don't mind the noise when guests come. It's more lively when there are more people.

Seeing Shen Xiaoye performing a set of Five Elements Boxing, he actually suggested going out for a walk.

“The sky is dark, if you have too much free time, just stand still.

Sui Ge'er, keep an eye on her and don't run around. I'll go feed the mule some hay." Shen Changshou patted his niece's head and walked to the backyard with the lantern.

As soon as he left, Shen Xiaoye said, “Uncle, I promised Xiao Xuanmao to get up early.

Let's take a walk now to avoid our uncle."

"No need to hide, we'll leave in half an hour." Before dawn, Shen Changsui did not allow her to refute, and punched her in the face with lightning speed.

Shen Xiaoye reacted quickly. He dodged sideways and blocked with his elbow. The uncle and nephew started fighting immediately.

The whirring punches made a banging sound, and the frightened old couple almost cried out. Fortunately, they often went up the mountain and had seen the Taoist priests practicing martial arts.

Time passed during the competition. The little black cat, which had twisted its body excitedly when it just woke up, lay down angrily. As it looked around, it finally saw the sky turn light in the east.

Shen Xiaoye also thanked the old couple for the breakfast. The nephew and uncle left their carriages and horses here and went up the mountain together.

Wuzhong Mountain is worthy of being called a Taoist holy land, with beautiful and tranquil scenery. The sound of flowing water in the mountains accompanied by the occasional chirping of insects creates a special artistic conception.

The breeze from the mountains blew gently, bringing with it a bit of Zen spirit. Ding, ding, ding, the sound of bells coming from the top of the mountain scared away the birds hiding under the leaves.

Unfortunately, Shen Xiaoye couldn't feel it. She was walking on the wrong path at all, following the guidance of the little black cat. She mainly wanted to see what medicinal herbs were available here.

Shen Changsui said nothing and just watched her running around silently.

This caused Shen Changshou to keep reminding him, "Don't go into the bushes nearby."

"Hey, there are two mountain paths ahead. Uncle, do you remember which one the Taoist priest said to take?" Shen Xiaoye was very obedient, but she was disobedient in her actions. Not long after entering the incense path, she discovered the bright spot.

So far, she is heading to Taixu Temple in the same direction as the little black cat, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

It also said, "Shen Xiaoye, I feel like I'm getting closer."

Shen Xiaoye was very worried that it would take another path, and her mind was racing to find a reason to follow the little black cat's path.

Fortunately, my uncle said, "The left and right sides lead to another hilltop. The villagers built a Cui Jun Temple in some unknown year. There are not many people there."

The three of them stepped onto the incense path on the left. The little black cat didn't object, and Shen Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief.

With the constant urging of the little black cat, she always occupied the first place on the stairs.

But as the altitude increases, it becomes the uncle who leads the way.

It is true that the mountain paths here are basically more natural and undecorated as they get higher. Only the steps carved out of the mountain wall allow only one person to pass through.

"Well, fortunately, we are almost there at Taixu Temple." Shen Xiaoye had already seen the mountain gate, and a Taoist priest was floating down the steps. Who else could it be but Taoist priest Hengxi?

He bowed and said, "Blessings and infinite heavenly master, I thought you had taken the wrong path and went up to Cui Jun's palace.

Come up with me quickly and taste my Taixu Spirit Spring water."

"Can I have an epiphany after drinking it?" Shen Xiaoye asked involuntarily.

The two uncles stroked their foreheads at the same time, and Taoist Master Hengxi laughed loudly: "That's right."

"Then I have to try it." Shen Xiaoye reached the top of the stairs, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up. The wide stone ground was wide enough for people to run exercises on.

In front of the Taoist temple, there are two old and strong pine trees, which have grown into a shape that reaches up to the sky. Upon closer inspection, there is a little Taoist boy in green clothes picking truffles on the tree on the right.

Very artistic!

Just as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly heard the little black cat meowing, followed by a sharp whistle, and saying, "Shen Xiaoye, go to the tree on the left, and help it up."

"Xiao Ye, are you stunned?" Uncle Shen Changshou found that the little girl who was just full of life was now standing there motionless, so he couldn't help but pat her gently.

Shen Changsui helped her up and said, "Sit down and rest for a while?"

"Headache." Shen Xiaoye was dizzy from the sudden scream. She only saw the jumping silhouette of the little black cat with its claws stretched out in front of her. "Let's sit under the pine tree for a while."

Under the trees on the left and right, there were stools made from tree stumps.

Taoist Priest Heng Xi, who was walking in front, came over, held her wrist and examined it carefully. After a moment, he asked, "What frightened you last night?"

"No." Is it that powerful? Shen Xiaoye shook his head, but found that he felt dizzy after shaking for a moment, so he quickly held his head to steady himself.

Shen Changsui's expression was solemn, and he stared at the black cat pendant on her other wrist with his sharp eyes.

The little black cat retreated again and again in the space, feeling guilty, until its tail swept the car door and it had nowhere to retreat.

"No wonder you woke up so early, did you have a nightmare?" Uncle Shen Changshou said solemnly, "Master, did she encounter something unclean at such a young age?

I heard from the villagers that several decades ago, the Tartar invaded Wuzhong County and fought with the nearby rebels, with blood flowing like a river. "

"Uncle, I just didn't sleep well and didn't have a nightmare." Shen Xiaoye didn't want to get involved in anything weird, just one was enough.

The little black cat seemed to hear her thoughts and said, "I didn't mean it."

“The place where they were fighting was still more than ten miles away. There might be wild animals roaming in the mountains at night. The low roars of some animals might make some people feel uncomfortable.

Sit under the tree and I'll give you a few injections." Taoist Master Hengxi proposed a plan.

Shen Changsui and his brothers nodded in unison: "Okay, okay (thank you for your help)."

Shen Xiaoye took the opportunity to sit on the tree stump on the left. When he stretched out his hand with the pendant and touched the tree trunk, he heard the little black cat say, "Wait for me!"

Then the pendant on her wrist fell off with a sound. It turned out that the red string broke by itself.

Coincidentally, the first ray of sunlight shone from the east, and the wooden cat's eyes seemed to be pierced by the light, and instantly lost their vitality.

"Young man, were you wearing the pendant when you went to sleep last night?" Taoist Master Hengxi asked when Shen Changsui picked up the wooden carved black cat.

Shen Xiaoye said meaningfully: "After I bought it, I almost always wear it.

It suddenly left me today, and I feel a little uncomfortable. "

Shen Changsui said he had received it: "When I get home, I'll make a rope and tie it up tightly."

"Wait, don't put it away yet. Taoist priest, is it not suitable for her to wear?

Xiaoye, when did you buy it?" The uncle became nervous.

Taoist Priest Hengxi asked Shen Xiaoye to close his eyes. He took out the silver needle and disinfected it with the wine he brought with him. He smiled and said, "The black cat protects the house and brings wealth. It's okay.

It’s just that children are prone to pressing it when they fall asleep, and pressing any acupuncture point on the upper part of the body will also make it difficult for them to sleep well.”

After he finished speaking, he inserted the silver needle into Shen Xiaoye's head and wrist.

Even though he heard the answer, my uncle still stared at the silver needles, some long and some short, feeling very nervous.

Shen Changsui, who was leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, found that he could not sense the little black cat with the pendant in his hand, and his soul could not withdraw from himself and enter the space.

He had some doubts that this so-called space had disappeared along with the little black cat's soul.

The fact was exactly as he thought. The little black cat pounced on the old pine tree, and its soul flew along the treetops. After a moment, it felt pain in its body.

After struggling to open my eyes, I discovered that this was an underground cave with a dark river flowing in front of it.

It hadn't eaten for many days and felt very hungry. While it was thinking about the pickled fish from Shen Xiaoye's family, a small jar suddenly appeared in front of it.

The little black cat meowed and opened the lid, stretched out its claws to scoop out the fish inside and ate it. It ate and ate, and after it finished the whole jar and drank up the soup, it remembered: "Why did a jar from Shen Xiaoye's house appear?

This is what Shen Xiaoye put into the space when he encountered a leopard in the mountains last time."

Oh yes, space.

It hurriedly checked its body and did not see the pendant following it. However, when it touched the collar it had been wearing, it discovered that the palm-sized space had expanded and had two more round beads.

The little black cat took them out on a whim, but couldn't understand why. Then, it stopped thinking about them. It had to sleep for a while to find the way. It hoped that Shen Xiaoye would wait for it and not leave.

Of course, what it didn't know was that when uncle Shen Changshou saw his little niece falling asleep little by little after the acupuncture, he decided not to leave today and instead burned incense at Taixu Temple and rest for a night to help her calm her mind.

Shen Xiaoye slept soundly for the whole morning. After waking up, she was no longer dizzy or blurry, and was full of energy again.

"Fourth uncle, I can't go back today.

"Where's my uncle? Did he move down the mountain to Sumu?" She drank the medicinal food prepared by Taoist Master Hengxi, and she really envied him for being able to eat it.

Shen Changsui placed the pendant next to her and said, "Brother and the Taoist priest are going to the western mountain stream to find a herb.

Try it after eating to see if the little guy is still there. "

"It left when I was holding it up the tree." Shen Xiaoye didn't think of anything else, but she still finished the medicinal meal and held the pendant to sense it. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "The car is gone, and only the pendant is left."

Shen Changsui nodded: "It has no effect on us."

"It told me to wait for it." Shen Xiaoye thought seriously, "Why don't we look for it in the mountains?"

“There’s nothing over there on the pine tree side, so you can go for a stroll if you want.

Now tell me why you suddenly feel dizzy and can't stand?" Shen Changsui stared at her.

Shen Xiaoye told the truth, and then said: "Maybe the little black cat was too excited. Usually it is very cute and quiet to accompany me."

"cute?"

"Cute. She's very cute when she meows, but she's just a gust of wind when she gets angry."

After Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, she seemed to hear the meow of a little black cat, and she couldn't help laughing. But the next moment, she saw her uncle walking to the window, pushing it open, bending over and reaching out.

Then, a miserable black kitten covered in mud, water and leaves appeared in my uncle's hands.

It also said: "I am almost dead tired, you don't know, I have run more than three hills.

Water, I want to drink the spiritual spring water." The little black cat shook its body, and some mud leaves fell off, but the petal on its buttocks would not fall off. "Shen Xiaoye, do you know what I encountered in the mountains for half a day?"

"What did you encounter? Precious medicinal herbs?" Before his uncle threw it away, Shen Xiaoye rushed over and took it to the basin to wash its fur.

But cats don’t like water. The little black cat said, “Don’t wash it, don’t wash it. If you wash it again, I won’t tell you something more expensive than medicine.”

"If you don't wash, you are not allowed to go home with us." Shen Changsui even took out a copper kettle and poured some hot water.
